REVERSING TRANSACTIONS

[Frank H. Ellenberger]

David,

if greater than 0 it should avert editing of transactions older than
threshhold days.

Tooltip:
"Choose the number of days after which transactions will be read-only
and cannot be edited anymore. This threshold is marked by a red line in
the account register windows. If zero, all transactions can be edited
and none are read-only."
